Changes in How a Plant Breathes Aren’t Always Matched by Changes in Its Anatomy
You can't predict how a Yucca gloriosa will react to drought from its anatomy alone.
Does leaf anatomy aid in species identification of Butia (Arecaceae)?
Butia is a neotropical genus of palms whose identification is based mostly on characters of external morphology, which are sometimes variable or inadequate for species differentiation. A recent study by Sant’Anna-Santos...
Wound-periderm-like tissue induced by UV-B radiation
Nascimento et al. expose plants to supplemental UV-B radiation and find that it causes the formation of brown areas on the leaves, which develop into a protective tissue on the adaxial side of the leaf, but only in...

Phylogenetics of the Spathelia–Ptaeroxylon clade
Phylogenetics of the Spathelia–Ptaeroxylon clade The genera of the Spathelia–Ptaeroxylon clade are strikingly different in terms of morphology and have been included in several families of the Sapindales. Appelhans et...
C4 photosynthesis in genus Cleome
C4 photosynthesis in genus Cleome The genus Cleome (Cleomaceae) includes more than 200 species including one, C. gynandra, that is known to be C4 and two others that are believed to be. Koteyeva et al. show that all...
